Wislog

Road freight is the backbone of European trade, offering direct delivery from loading point to consignee without transhipment, flexible loading times and predictable transit times. From its operations centre in Gebze, Wislog Lojistik carries cargo for manufacturers from all over Türkiye to every part of Europe, and manages import cargo from Europe to Türkiye with the same discipline.

We choose the fastest and most economical route for your cargo, using the Balkan corridors via the Kapıkule, Hamzabeyli and İpsala border crossings and, when needed, Ro-Ro lines to Italy. We run regular full truckload and groupage shipments in particular to Poland, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium (Brussels), France, Italy, Bulgaria, Greece, Albania, Lithuania and Latvia.

Vehicles are selected according to the dimensions, weight and stacking characteristics of your cargo: curtainsider, mega trailer or ADR-equipped truck. Our operations team monitors securing and stowage checks during loading, as well as border crossings and customs stages en route, and reports to you regularly.

Frequently asked questions

How long does road freight from Türkiye to Europe take?

Estimated transit times from Gebze are 1–2 days to Bulgaria, 2–3 days to Greece, 4–6 days to Germany and Poland, 5–7 days to the Netherlands, Belgium and France, and 6–8 days to Latvia. Times may vary with border congestion and the season.

How much cargo fits in one truck?

A standard curtainsider trailer is approximately 13.6 metres long and holds 33 Euro pallets, with a payload of generally up to 24 tonnes. Mega trailers offer greater internal height for bulky, light cargo.

Which documents are used in road freight?

The core documents are the CMR consignment note, commercial invoice, packing list and export declaration, plus, where required, A.TR or EUR.1 movement certificates and a TIR carnet or transit declaration.

Knowledge Centre

Take a closer look at our logistics solutions

For every transport mode and cargo type, we have summarised our processes, the benefits and the key points to consider.

Transport Modes

International Sea Freight

Sea freight is the most economical option for high-volume, long-distance cargo. We manage the entire process — from freight booking and port operations to container tracking and delivery at the port of destination. Our strong line connections support Far East imports and Mediterranean–Gulf exports.

FCL and LCL Container Shipping

If your cargo fills a container, FCL gives you a container dedicated solely to your shipment; for smaller volumes, LCL means you pay only for the space you use. We move your full and part container loads from Far East ports and Europe on regular sailings.

Full Truckload and Groupage Trucking

If your cargo fills a truck, we offer fast, direct full truckload transport with no transhipment; for loads of just a few pallets, we provide a cost-effective part load solution. We run regular shipments on routes to Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Bulgaria, Greece, Italy, France and Albania.

International Air Freight

For urgent production parts and high-value goods, air freight turns time into an advantage. We organise your exports departing from Istanbul and Sabiha Gökçen airports, as well as your imports from around the world, in line with IATA rules.

Domestic Road Transport in Türkiye

We provide full truckload and part load road transport across Türkiye, connecting factories, warehouses, ports and bonded warehouses. We manage the movement of your export cargo to the port and your import cargo from the port to your warehouse, fully integrated with your international operations.

Cross-Trade (Third-Country) Shipping

Goods you buy in the Far East, Europe or the Americas can be shipped straight to Libya, Lebanon, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Italy or France without a detour through Türkiye. We manage freight, documentation and customs coordination from a single desk and protect commercial confidentiality between your supplier and your buyer.

Specialist Cargo

Chemical and Dangerous Goods Transport

We specialise in hazardous cargo such as chemical raw materials, aerosols, flammable liquids and corrosive products. With correct classification, packaging, labelling, documentation and equipment, we deliver fully compliant transport by road, sea and air.

Cosmetics, Deodorant and Detergent Transport

Aerosol products such as deodorants and perfumes, cosmetics and personal care products, and liquid and powder detergents all need specific planning — both because of dangerous goods rules and because they are easily damaged. We bring experience of regular shipments in these product groups to European, Middle Eastern and African markets.

Raw Material Transport

Keeping your production line running depends on raw materials reaching your factory at the right time. From plastic granules to chemical raw materials, and from minerals and fillers to packaging materials, we manage your raw material imports and exports by sea and road in a planned way.

Furniture Transport

We carry Türkiye’s strong furniture exports to European, Middle Eastern and African markets. For bulky, fragile furniture with delicate surfaces, we aim for damage-free delivery through the right vehicle, careful stowage and protective packaging.

Machinery and Project Cargo Transport

Production lines, CNC machines, generators, steel structures and out-of-gauge equipment require route surveys, special equipment and lifting plans. We plan your machinery and project cargo from loading after dismantling through to delivery on site.

Open Top and Flat Rack Container Shipping

We use open top containers for cargo that does not fit a standard container or needs top loading, and flat rack containers for cargo requiring side loading or exceeding standard dimensions. For tarpaulin-covered open container loads, we manage securing and protection planning end to end.

Warehousing & Bonded Storage

Warehousing Services

By combining transport with warehousing, we make your supply chain more flexible. In warehouses in Türkiye and, through our partners, around the world, we provide short- and long-term storage, handling, palletising, labelling and shipment preparation services.

Bonded Warehouse and Customs Storage Services

You can hold imported goods in a bonded warehouse without paying customs duties and fees, release them for free circulation in partial quantities as needed, or re-export them. We manage your bonded warehouse processes together with transport and customs coordination.

Cargo Collection and Consolidation Services

We bring together the products you buy from multiple suppliers — in different countries or within the same country — at collection warehouses, inspect them and combine them into a single container or truck shipment. This lowers your freight costs and reduces your documentation and tracking workload.
